Hastings museums
Museums that kids will find interesting make this town of 25,000 (105 miles west of Lincoln) a good stop for families. Hands-on exhibits at the Children's Museum of Central Nebraska include a make-believe veterinary clinic with animal X-rays and a pretend pizza parlor to test kids' math skills.

The Hastings Museum of Natural and Cultural History offers a pleasantly eclectic mix of science, history and pop culture. Don't miss the display (left) about Kool-Aid inventor Edwin Perkins, a hometown hero. (800) 508-4629; hastingsmuseum.org
